I have been using this laptop since past 6 months. I want to know if my laptop does have a dedicated slot for SSD or not and if it has then up to how much gb SSD i can install in it, if not then can I increase the ROM(HDD) in my laptop and upto how much gb.
And please also tell if I can increase its RAM or not.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Your PC supports max 32GB of DDR4 2133Mhz RAM (2x16GB) even if the service manual mentions 16GB. There are two slots and at the moment you have one 8GB stick and one empty slot. You can buy RAM from your preferred brand such as Crucial, Corsair...

On page 50 of the service manual you can see the steps to upgrade RAM:

The service manual does mention support for M2 SATA3 SSD. However, before buying drive you should check if the physical slot is present on the motherboard as sometimes notebooks that did not come with M2 SSD are missing the slot. On page 45 you can see the steps to remove the bottom cover.

If the slot is present you can insert a M2 SATA3 SSD such as the Samsung 860 Evo or similar. If the slot is not present you can replace the hard drive with a 2.5" SSD such as the 2.5" Samsung 860 Evo or similar.

 

Hope it helps,

David
